flip down TV

LE

I have a flip down TV in the kitchen, which I think may be an LCD type. I have had it for a couple of years so it hasn't done bad, but it has recently gone "dark". I think it is an electrical problem, so not yet tried the hammer approach .

Sound is still fine, but the picture is really hard to see as the screen has gone really dark and you can just make things out so impossible to watch. I have wacked the brightness, and contrast up to the maximum to little avail, so I think it is something on the TV, however does anyone know if it is easily repairable (either by me, or a little man), or is it more of a write off and shop around for another to keep the boss happy?.

We the willing, led by the unknowing, are doing the impossible for the ungrateful. We have done so much, with so little, for so long, we are now qualified to do anything, with nothing.

It could be the inverter - not too expensive, or difficult to replace ...... If you can find a straight replacement! If it's the backlight knackered it can be fixed but not for the amateur. Depending on size, might be reasonable to just replace.

You're a Sapper.
Go and get a claw hammer and give it a fcuking good hiding....that'll learn it, ....good as new.

The BBC:
"Its not just the political bias. It's the utter intellectual vacuity of it .... like watching 11 years olds debate politics"
"The BBC supports a whole class of parasites whose ambition is to destroy the service of the very people who, through forced taxation, pay their wages.
